DEVOURING HAMLET: CULTURAL ANTHROPOPHAGY AS AN ADAPTATION METHODOLOGY

DEVORANDO HAMLET: ANTROPOFAGIA CULTURAL COMO UMA METODOLOGIA DE ADAPTAÇÃO

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

Abstract

This paper focuses on two film productions of the Shakespearean play Hamlet (1600-1601), both made in Brazil in the 1970s. It is my contention that A herança (The Inheritance), by Ozualdo Candeias (1970), and O jogo da vida e da morte (The Game of Life and Death), by Mario Kuperman (1971), constitute intertextual works which can be understood as transcultural, anthropophagic adaptations of the Shakespearean drama.

A herança

Hamlet

“Ser ou não ser…
Morrer p’ra dormir,
Dormir p’ra sonhar...
To be or not to be
That is the…”

“HAMLET
To be, or not to be, that is the question -
Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them. To die, to sleep -
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to - ‘tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep -
To sleep, perchance to dream. Ay, there’s the rub,
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause. There’s the respect
That makes calamity of so long life,
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
Th’oppressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely,
The pangs of disprized love, the law’s delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of th’unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make 75
With a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscovered country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will, 80
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,
And thus the native hue of resolution
I s sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought, 85
And enterprises of great pitch and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry
And lose the name of action. Soft you now,
The fair Ophelia. - Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all my sins remembered” (III, i. 56-89).

O jogo da vida e da morte

Hamlet

Horácio: Você vai aprender a não me chamar de mentiroso. ‘Guenta mão aí...
Marcelo: Vai me dizer que ele apareceu hoje outra vez.
Horácio: Hoje, não, ainda não apareceu, né.
Marcelo: Você está imaginando coisas. Você está me gozando.
Horácio: Calma, né Marcelo. Pensa que é assim de cara? Calma pô.

Marcellus: What, has this thing appeared again tonight?
Barnardo: I have seen nothing.
Marcellus: Horatio says ’tis but our fantasy,
And will not let belief take hold of him
Touching this dreaded sight, twice seen of us.
Therefore I have entreated him along
With us to watch the minutes of this night,
That if again this apparition come
He may approve our eyes, and speak to it.
Horatio: Tush, tush,’ twill not appear.
Barnardo: Sit down awhile,
And let us once again assail your ears,
That are so fortified against our story,
What we two nights have seen (I. i. 21-33).

O jogo da vida e da morte	Texto apresentado em Inglês
Horácio: Oh, Marcelo. Fala com ele. Qualquer coisa, vâmo. Marcelo: Eu não. Por quê eu? Horácio: ‘Cê tem ginásio.	Marcellus: Thou art a scholar, speak to it Horatio (I. i. 42).
